Diabetes Patients Make Significant Gains in Disease Control; Still, Nearly Half Fail to Reach ADA Treatment Goals
CHICAGO, June 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Over the last six years, Americans being treated for diabetes improved control of their disease by a significant 44.4 percent. As of December, 2006, more than half (54.6 percent) had reached treatment goals for glycemic control, established by the American Diabetes Association (ADA), compared to 37.8 percent in 2001. This finding is according to the Quest Diagnostics Health Trends Report on Diabetes, (NYSE: DGX) presented here today at the ADA annual scientific conference (posters # 21-LB and 22-LB). Despite these overall gains, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c or A1c) values have plateaued since 2004 with 45 percent of patients in 2006 failing to reach treatment targets of HbA1c levels less than seven percent.
